Introduction to SOA Governance by
Bobby Woolf, IBM Software Services for
WebSphere
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a compelling technique for developing software applications that best match business models. However, SOA increases the level of cooperation and coordination required, both between business and IT as well as between IT departments and teams. This cooperation and coordination is provided by SOA governance. It covers the tasks and processes for specifying and managing how services and SOA applications are supported. SOA governance is crucial for the success of SOA. This article discusses what governance and management are and why they're important. It will then review the following important aspects of SOA governance: Service definition, Service deployment lifecycle, Service versioning, Service migration, Service registry, Service message model, Service monitoring, Service ownership, Service testing and Service security With this information, you should have a good idea of why your SOA efforts need SOA governance. You will also have some ideas about how your organization can build its own SOA governance scheme. Read the full article in the latest version of the IBM SOA Newsletter. Not a subscriber? Subscribe now and get the latest information, best practices, technical tips, resources and more, on SOA - delivered right to your desktop every month. Whether you are just getting started with SOA or you're expanding your solutions portfolio, this newsletter will give you concise how-to's, plus upcoming events that will help you to put the promise and the power of SOA to work for your business. |

Map out your Training
Path
Now is a great time to develop a plan for building and updating your skills portfolio. And charting your training plan is very much like plotting stops on a map while on vacation. IBM training paths will help guide you through this process with the recommended sequence for completing a series of courses in one of 20 plus subject areas. The training paths are designed, in many cases for specific target audiences, such as programmers, administrators and operators. Each box on a training path includes the course title and how it is delivered. Just a simple click on any course box links you directly to a complete course description and enrollment information. What could be simpler? Take advantage of this valuable tool and design the right training plan for your success. Professional
Certification - Strengthen and Validate Your
Skills
With each IBM certification, you validate skills, demonstrate you're capable of performing role-related activities at a specified level of competence and add value to your company. Start with new technical and sales certifications offered for server and storage products, as well as software related certifications. Furthermore, many IBM Technical Conferences offer attendees the chance to take certification exams at the event for no additional charge or at a significant discount. Live Virtual
Classes
Being there is what it's all about. Students taking courses online sometimes feel left out of the educational process, missing out on the sense of dynamic involvement that comes with face-to-face instruction. But IBM's live virtual classes eliminate that feeling of isolation by linking the instructor and student in a live, real time, interactive learning experience. Live virtual classes can vary in length from one to several days. Using a set of speakers and microphone or a headset, the students become part of a virtual classroom where they can interact with the instructor in real time just as they would in a conventional classroom setting. Hands-on lab work is performed with the instructor shadowing each student, providing guidance and addressing issues or questions as they arise. Check out our live virtual classes in:

It's smarter to train than to recruit. Increased competition for the best workers is causing CEOs to focus on using training as a talent retention tool in 2007. And the best way to do that is offer training opportunities. IBM Training's extensive portfolio of course offerings and IT certification programs provide a comprehensive solution for businesses looking to offer talented employees an opportunity to boost skills and advance their careers within the enterprise. Learn more Expand your On-Site Training with
Instructor Mentoring
Take the time, travel and cost expenses out of your technology training equation. IBM offers onsite training for groups of 3 to 14 or more. Have a small group? Consider sponsoring a training session at your site and allow other area companies to attend. You can even customize the content to suit your organization's needs. The result? Relevant skills for less money. All at the most convenient location: yours. Furthermore, you may choose to receive additional customized training following an onsite class with instructor mentoring from IBM. You have the option of having your instructor remain at your site to mentor individuals in depth on portions of a class, for an additional fee. This mentoring offering can be arranged prior to the on-site training class or left to the discretion of the instructor and students at the conclusion of the class.
